As part of our Boops for Good initiative, Boogs & Boop is thrilled to announce that this quarter’s donation has been made to the Voorhees Animal Orphanage (VAONJ)! This incredible organization was recommended by none other than Crazy Daisy (@crazydaisy.thepug), a passionate advocate for rescue animals.
This quarter, we decided to do something a little different. With Giving Tuesday falling in December, we turned to our amazing community of Instagram followers and asked for their input. We wanted to know which shelters were making a meaningful impact in their communities. VAONJ was one of the standout recommendations and was randomly selected to receive our donation.
What is Giving Tuesday?
Giving Tuesday is a global movement encouraging people to give back to causes they care about, taking place annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. It’s a powerful reminder that generosity, whether through donations, time, or advocacy, can create real change. We saw it as a perfect opportunity to involve our Boogs & Boop community in choosing where our quarterly donation would go.
Why Voorhees Animal Orphanage?
Located in southern New Jersey, VAO is a no-kill shelter dedicated to rescuing and rehoming stray and surrendered animals from 22 municipalities in Camden County. Each year, they care for over 2,500 dogs and cats, ensuring they receive the love, medical attention, and support they need until they find their forever homes.
VAO’s approach includes:
- Comprehensive Medical Care: Ensuring each animal is vaccinated, spayed/neutered, and treated for any health issues.
- Adoption Programs: Focused on matching pets with families, including special initiatives like Seniors for Seniors and Pets for Veterans to connect animals with those who can benefit most from companionship.
- Community Engagement: Hosting events and educational programs to promote responsible pet ownership and awareness of animal welfare issues.
Why Giving Back is Core to Boogs & Boop?
At Boogs & Boop, we believe that every purchase should contribute to something bigger. Through Boops for Good, we donate 1-2% of our quarterly profits to animal shelters nationwide, along with new and sample dog accessories, to support their tireless efforts to care for pets in need. Shelters like Voorhees Animal Orphanage (VAO) are doing incredible work, and we’re proud to contribute to their mission.
